Show us were it warpt , the 95 arnt that bad out of all the other years theyt were the best and the size wasnt to much smaller than the real thin ,
how ever the ones that are made from a white plastic are better matterial , but the size is the same ,

I'm still gonna buy Jinto's Boba helmet, but...I've decided to try my hand at repainting the DP 95. Except..I don't know what sort of hobby paint colors I would need...I've got a a creamy color to repaint the ears so far, but I'm not sure what shade of red, green/s and silver/dark silver I need to use..

EDIT: I aim to do an ESB color scheme and I prefer to use colors that can be removed by water and a rag and also could be applied with a paint brush

I didn't use any hot water method. What I did was turn the oven on to its lowest setting, stuffed the helmet with towels, and shoved it in there. After a minute or two, I pulled it out, reshaped it, and stuck it in the freezer. After repeating this a few times, I ended up with a lid that looked like this (Mine's actually a '96):http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...a/IMG_1288.jpg

This picture is after painting and visor replacement, of course. Just make sure to leave it in the oven long enough to get flexible, but not long enough to melt. Also, place it on a towel while inside so it doesn't melt or misshape the bottom to the bars.

EDIT: I also brush-painted my helmet, Meta, so you can get an idea of what it might look like in the end.
